Full Song
Verse 1
C G7 C
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
F C G7
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
C G7 C
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling
F C G7
It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide
Chorus
C G7 C
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
F C G7
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
C G7 C
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
F C G7
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Verse 2
C G7 C
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
F C G7
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
C G7 C
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
F C G7
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
Chorus
C G7 C
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
F C G7
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
C G7 C
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
F C G7
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Bridge
F C G7
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
F C G7
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
C G7 C
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
F C G7
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
Chorus
C G7 C
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow
F C G7
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow
C G7 C
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
